Recently, footage and images of EXO’s Baekhyun smoking an e-cigarette indoors in Macau circulated online, sparking reactions from fans and netizens. The footage, shared by a popular X (formerly Twitter) account, showed the singer using the e-cigarette earlier this year, during his time in Macau.

The incident quickly caught attention due to Macau’s strict laws regarding electronic cigarettes. These laws prohibit individuals from bringing e-cigarettes into or out of the city, making Baekhyun’s actions a matter of public discussion. Shortly after the footage began to circulate, INB100, the company managing Baekhyun, issued a formal apology addressing the situation.

INB100’s Apology

The company acknowledged the video and expressed their regret over the incident, explaining that both Baekhyun and his staff were unaware of the specific laws in Macau at the time. During a casual meal with staff following one of Baekhyun’s performances, the singer reportedly used the e-cigarette without realizing the legal implications.

In their statement, INB100 apologized for the discomfort the video may have caused, emphasizing Baekhyun’s regret for his actions. They promised to be more cautious in the future and ensure such incidents do not happen again.

Hello, this is INB100.

We sincerely apologize to everyone who felt uncomfortable regarding the recent incident involving our artist Baekhyun’s indoor smoking, which has been circulating online.

At the time, neither Baekhyun nor our staff were aware that Macau prohibits the importation of electronic cigarettes. During a meal with staff after the Macau performance, as the conversation deepened, Baekhyun unconsciously used an electronic cigarette.

Baekhyun deeply regrets his careless actions and sincerely apologizes for disappointing many fans.

Both Baekhyun and our company will ensure that such incidents do not happen again by exercising greater caution, and we promise not to disappoint fans with similar situations in the future.

We will also do our best to show a more mature side of Baekhyun.

Once again, we deeply apologize for causing concern and discomfort to many people. We are truly sorry.

— INB100
